Envelope by Henri Matisse.

“Because sending a letter is the next best thing to showing up personally at someone’s door. Ink from your pen touches the stationary, your fingers touch the paper, your saliva seals the envelope, your scent graces the paper. Something tangible from your world travels through machines and hands, and deposits itself in another’s mailbox; their world. Your letter is then carried inside as an invited guest. The paper that was sitting on your desk, now sits on another’s. The recipient handles the paper that you handled. Letters create a connection that modern and impersonal forms of communication will never replace.” - The Art of Manliness

Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

Leave him a note. Write him a note like the olden times. Break his heart in ink. He will understand if he loves you.
